Time² host bloggers event to showcase autumn ’10

Last night I headed to the Time² store on Long Acre, in Covent Garden for an evening of champagne, cupcakes and watches.

I have to admit, I don’t know a massive amount about watches so I was intrigued to find out more.

Apparently, ceramic is a big trend for autumn/winter and Burberry are bringing out this fabulous new, ceramic watch (below) with intricate strap detailing which includes the famous Burberry check.

The trend for brightly coloured straps will continue (as above top) but we’ll see some sweeter tones, alongside the acid brights.

Similar to fashion, watches are also seeing the trend for brands delving into their archives and drawing inspiration from past collections.

The ’50′s and ’60′s are hugely influential in all the autumn/winter runway collections and we’re seeing a similar trend with watches. Watch brands are also designing new pieces which are made to look like vintage finds.

Time² have just launched their first online store at www.time2.co.uk, so check it out for yourselves.

We were also treated to a lucky dip of watches and I picked out this fab LTD black watch (below)…no excuse for being late now!
